In building gloves from the blanks hereunder, fabric palm 1 as having thumb lining 2 is assembled with thumb lining 3 and thumb facing i by common seam 5 wh ch may extend over the top of the thumb and back to the wrist as a continuous seam. This assembly may be after seam 6 has united this facing 4: to the lining 3. This seam 5 connects inner thumb facing 7 to the thumb facing 4, and leaves the thumb back wristward from the seam. 6 as exposing a portion of the thumb lining 3.

Palm facing 8 has index finger inside facing 9 with index finger back facing 10 integral therewith. This facing 10 is assembled with index finger lining portion 11 integral with thepalm lining 1 by seam 12 approximately from point 13 adjacent the inner crotch of the index finger. Back lining 14 may have back facing 15 connected thereto by seam 16 approximately from beglove glove palm facing of tween points 17, 18, of the lining14. Third finger back lining 19 may have mounted thereon third finger back facing 20 by seam- 21 approximately: between the inner crotch.

portions between the second. and third fingers and the third and little fingers, as determined by points 21, 22, on the back fin ger blank 19. i

Little. finger back lining 23 has assembled therewithlittle finger back facing 24 byseanr 25 from point 2.6 approximating the crotch between the third and little fingers.

Seams 27, 28, 29, may assemble these finger back linings with the partial finger back facings and leave the glove as an open structure. seam as a closing seam may start and go down between the first and second finger, up over the second finger, down between the second and third finger, up over the third finger, down between the third and little finger, up over they little finger, and down the edge of the little finger to terminate at the wrist portion end of the lining 23 as assembled with the palm lining 1 to the palm facing 8.

Gauntlet blank 31 may have assembled therewith, by seam 32, palm extension facing 33. This extensionand gauntlet are assembled by seam 34 with the glove linings and facings, so that this extension 33 has its seam 32 approximately continuous from the seam 6 to the wristward termination of the seam 30. While between the fingers, the fourchettes or back facings are brought in by the respective seams 12, 16, 21,25, there is but a single closing seam as an upward seam between the fingers which is effective in uniting the front and rear linings, as well as the front and rear facings. There is, accordingly, a minimum ofany knotting or packing of fabric in the crotches between the fingers. Furthermore, as assembled, the seams 25, 21, 16, 12, 6, 32, approximate a continuous curved line from the outer edge of the little finger just above the knuckles in the hand, across the back of the hand, down- From the tip of the index finger,

Ward along the rearward edge of the thumb that the seam 30 extends from the little finger wristward, not only to the gauntlet 31, as at the wristward portion of the lining 32, but by seam 35 as a continuation of the seaming 30 which effects closing of the gauntlet also.

The configuration of the facings is such as to permit economy in the cutting of such from leather or other material in the mount ing thereof on cotton duck or other fabric. This economy is not only in the cutting of the leather but in the ways of assembly and sewing. The seaming or stitching is a minimum. While the fourchettes serve really as finger backs approximately over the two lower knuckles of each of the fingers, as such they are efficient in resisting wear. The cut-out for the thumb facing back along the seam 6 is also a material saving in the facing material. The unfaced portion of the back provides a glove which gives for the hand portions a flexibility which contributes to ease for the wearer, while the portions of the fingers and hand subject to wear are reinforced by the several facings.

What is claimed and it is desired to secure by United States Letters Patent is:

A gauntlet glove having a palm fingers, thumb, back, and gauntlet, a facing for the palm, fingers and a portion of the thumb and gauntlet, a facing boundary contour seaming approximating a continuous curved line from the outer side of the little linger across the back of the glove to wristward near the side of the thumb, and thence over the gauntlet to the side of the hand toward the wrist from the point of starting with a straight line therefrom to the point of start- 111g.

In witness whereof I aflix my signature.
